how do i look inside my current rom to see if anything is out of wack with my framework? mms stoped working for some reason. i cannot send or recieve mms or video. if i wipe and clear cache and reinstall the rom it will work just fine but when i titanium backup all my apps and system data, thats when i lose the ability to send pics or recieve them. i have not deleted anything from the system but it seems as something has gone missing. any help is greatly appreciated . i am running second wave with latest radio. when i use root explorer and look at the data/data folder, under android.mms nothing is shown. where do i need to look to see if everything is there thats suppost to be there.
Mms is in the lib folder...its apnsconfig.xml

Long story short, I like Sense but I ultimately prefer the default Android gallery, camera and sms apps. I was able to find a copy of Gallery, now I just need the Messaging app and Camera. Anyone have a link for those things? I searched but the results were a mess, and not what I was looking for.

With the mms app, you can push it to the /system/app folder using ADB or a system level file manager like Root Explorer. The camera app goes to the same folder, however, there is more to it than that. Other items are involved and I don't know all that is needed to make it work. Anyway, you can download both from the links below:

I put it in system/apps but it wouldn't load. Now my htc messaging app is gone. Ruh roh.

You need to set the permissions for it. Also, get in the habit of going into recovery and making a nandroid backup before making changes to your device. You can always extract the HTC SMS apk file from the rom zip file and push to the /system/app folder to restore it if you didn't create a backup prior to making the changes.

Yeah, you're right, I should do backups more often. How do I set the permissions for it?
Also, thanks a lot for the help, I really appreciate it.

With a system level file manager like Root Explorer, maneuver to the /system/app folder, enable "mount r/w at the top of the screen, scroll down and locate mms.apk and then longpress on it. You will see several options with one of them being "permissions". Select permissions and set it accordingly:
Owner - Read Write
Group - Read
Others - Read
Afterwards, select okay and then select "mount r/o" at the top of the screen. You should be set.

That's not working for me.
Im using Warm 2.2 on an EVO. I downloaded the mms.apk and put it as is into system/apps. I rebooted and it didn't work, I deleted it and redownloaded it. Then, I changed the permissions after you recommended that, made sure root explorer set the directory back to r/o once I was done, and still no luck. I rebooted, and still nothing. Any idea what im doing wrong?

Are you familiar with ADB? Try pushing the file using the ADB commands. adb push mms.apk /system/app/
Or
adb shell
adb remount
adb push mms.apk /system/app/
Although I am currently using SalvageMod as my daily driver, I do have a nandroid backup of both RLS-5 and a rooted stock rom with the vanilla messaging app working in place of the HTC messaging app.

Oh ok I see, im just moving the mms.apk into the apps folder, I didn't realize 'pushing' meant something different

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.
Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V
Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?
Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

In the future, all your user apps will 99% of the time be in that folder.
I'm using a Bell I317M and recently flashed the official 4.3 update. I have noticed that I see duplicate entries in the gallery and have traced it down to the fact that I have two paths mapped to the SD card: /storage/extSdCard and /mnt/extSdCard
I don't recall this happening prior to the update. I believe it's related to a new way of referencing the external SD cards but is there a way to fix this so that the stock gallery app doesn't think they are completely different locations and show duplicates?
Actually, this is not only restricted to the stock gallery app. I have the stock android gallery app and it's doing the same thing!
Are you using more than one gallery ??
Or more than one camera app?
Both will create and place duplicates...
Just a thought.... g

I have both the Samsung stock gallery app and the Stock JB gallery installed. As for camera, I mainly use the Samsung stock camera app. But how (and why) would it create duplicates? New pics get saved to the DCIM location on the external SD card.
But since I have 2 logical paths to that location (one through /mnt and another through /storage), the gallery shows duplicates....

Have you flashed or dirty flashed roms? I've seen it where this can happen. Most likely the double gallery apps are doing this. Can you delete the non samsung app and see if that worked?

Agreed ....
Use TIBU and freeze one of the apks then delete it's associated duplicate folder...
Then test it...
Also ...make sure that you don't have 2 cameras set as system apps or they will both create folders on boot...g

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to look into that.
re: dirty flashing. the only thing I can think of was the in-place upgrade of the official 4.3 upgrade which I flashed through ODIN. I did not wipe prior or after the upgrade.

This is an easy fix that worked for me.... I had a directory that duplicated itself, and two more that wouldn't even show in the gallery.
1. I had a couple of directories duplicate themselves when they were originally created in the emulated directory and I "moved" it to my SD card... then when viewed in gallery it showed two directories "both in SD card"..... all I did was copy this whole directory to a different location on the sd card "copy not move", then went back and deleted the original directory. Then took my copy and moved it back to my original location. Then when viewing gallery only one directory was visible "the right one".
Others recipes may work, but this one did for me...
2. Directories that were invisible were fixed simply by renaming the directory using ES explorer, go to gallery and confirm they now all show then go back in es explorer and rename back to what you had them before "if you wish".......
Now go into Gallery a second time and you should still see the directories with names back to original as you've named them. your fixed!
I think mine got messed up with I created a file called .nomedia inside the directory... while it did remove the directory from view in gallery "like it's supposed to do", when that file was deleted, the directory was still invisible.... Even after hard reboot, clearing system cache and partition cache....but the above fixed it
